Genshin Impact 5.7 Update: Cryo Archon Descends, Sangkok Unleashes Devastating Frost Strikes

Ice’s Ultimate Blade: The Ice Element Valkyrie Descends in Genshin Impact Version 5.7
In the vast and boundless world of Genshin Impact, the ice element sweeps across the battlefield like a deadly winter storm, bringing with it a chilling and overwhelming force. On this icy tundra, a valkyrie from the realm of ice is about to arrive. Her name is Shikko. This five-star, ice-element, sword-wielding character will bring a new legend to the icy battlefield with her unique skill set and frosty combat style.
Shikko’s Character Profile

Rarity: 5-star
Vision: Ice
Weapon: Sword
Substat: Critical Damage +38.4%

This valkyrie from the icy realm wields a sword and has determination gleaming in her cold eyes. Her high critical damage substat of 38.4% hints at her devastating combat potential, making her as lethal as an unsheathed blade on the battlefield.
Exclusive Weapon: Sōyō

Base Attack: 608 / +33.1% Critical Rate

This exclusive weapon, akin to a celestial gift, grants Shikko immense combat power. The passive ability “White Mountain’s Bounty” activates 12 seconds after using an Elemental Skill, increasing her attack by 24%. During this duration, if her Elemental Energy is depleted, her attack increases by an additional 24%, and her critical damage rises by 40%.
This weapon is not just a tool for combat but also a symbol of Shikko’s power. Like celestial tears, it infuses her with the power of ice, enabling her to destroy all in her path.
Normal Attack: Kyōaku Gi – Dan

Normal Attack: Perform up to five consecutive strikes.
Like the howling northern wind, these five attacks cut through enemies like blades in the cold, delivering relentless blows. Each strike is as sharp as ice, leaving enemies shivering in the cold.

Charged Attack: Consume stamina to hurl a spinning ice spear at enemies in front, dealing damage.
This attack is as destructive as the collapse of an iceberg, with the ice spear descending like a meteor shower, unleashing merciless destruction. Enemies are powerless against Shikko’s fury under the icy glow.

Plunge Attack: Descend from the air to strike the ground below, dealing damage to enemies in the path and causing AoE damage upon impact.
This attack is as devastating as an icy warhammer, bringing catastrophic AoE damage. Enemies on the tundra have no escape from this onslaught.

Elemental Skill: Kyōaku Gi – Sen
This skill mimics the combat style of the “Kyōaku Rider,” with different effects depending on a tap or hold.

Tap: Shikko gains 45 points of “Snake’s Cunning” and switches to the “Seven Flash” mode.
Hold: Shikko gains 45 points of “Snake’s Cunning” and enters a state of rapid movement, enhancing her resistance to interruptions. During this state, she can control her movement direction and end the rapid movement early by recasting the skill.

This Elemental Skill is as swift as lightning, offering an unparalleled combat experience. Shikko becomes a fleeting threat on the icy battlefield, striking without warning.
Elemental Burst: Kyōaku Gi – Metsu
Shikko’s Elemental Burst does not rely on Elemental Energy but on “Snake’s Cunning.”
When Shikko has at least 50 points of “Snake’s Cunning,” she can consume all of it to unleash her Elemental Burst, tearing through the space in front of her and performing a high-speed attack.
